Scale factor used by Nancy for the model of an airplane = 1 : 14
Length of the tail of the airplane = 5.7 inches
Scale factor is defined by the expression,
Scale factor = [tex]\frac{\text{Dimension of the image}}{\text{Dimension of the original}}[/tex]
By substituting the dimension of the model in the expression,
[tex]\frac{1}{14}=\frac{5.7}{\text{Dimension of the original}}[/tex]
Dimension of the original plane = 14 × 5.7
= 79.80 inches
Therefore, length of the tail of the actual airplane will be 79.80 inches.
